[vtkusers] undefined reference to `XF86VidModeQueryVersion' on

[Juan José Aja Fernández]

Hi Mathieu,

I don't know what I was thinking, I was so frustrated that didn't
noticed that the line you mentioned as the important one was just what
I needed.
In the advanced options in cmake -i where it says:

Variable Name: X11_Xext_LIB
Description: Where can the Xext library be found
Current Value: 
New Value (Enter to keep current value):

I just needed to changed it to :
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so;/usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so

Just as you said, now it works perfectly (but much slower than in XFree86).

I added the commentary on the bug report at: 
http://vtk.org/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=1777&pos=0

Maybe is obvious to a VTK expert, but I feeled it was necesary to
emphasize on the matter (after all I'm a newbie).

Again thanks a lot!

Juan.
